💅 is_media_entity_v4l2_video_device(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is a tiny little vibe-check function and honestly it ate 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

is_media_entity_v4l2_video_device — lowkey check if the entity is a video_device 👀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool is_media_entity_v4l2_video_device (struct media_entity *entity );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• entity — pointer to entity 🫶 that's it, that's the whole parameter
